@jlax @zmh @stevekaliski @thebyrd From what I understand, it's 3 cents in addition to the AWS hourly fee charge. Dev Environ as a service could work well for lots a folks
@jlax @zmh @stevekaliski @thebyrd It's ~$14.5/mo if you only use it on work days and ~$20/mo if you are constantly using it.
Looks awesome and I definitely want to give it a try. Do any data scientists use this? How's integration with numpy/pandas/scipy stack?
This is potentially huge for those of us in the prototyping/product design side of the house. I've been dying for years for an easier way to tinker, test and deploy without needing to get a local environ set-up. The trick will be in simplifying initial set-up. Even getting AWS credentials into the system could be daunting. In the future, I hope Bowery could do something like look at a Github repo and auto-config a server based on requirements in the README.md file.
@shellen it's definitely something we're working on! Bowery 2 had a 'bowery.json' file you could place in your repo which would let a user clone the repo and boot up the infrastructure super quick. We're working on a similar feature for Bowery 3!
@stevekaliski @shellen That sounds awesome. Would be great for there to be a standard format for that information anyway. Perhaps you should promote a format that would be useful beyond Bowery. If that became something that people included in the .md or a required.json file that would be fantastic.
Perfect for prototyping. Saves you a lot of pain from using Heroku. Also, @terminalcloud is also very promising, but more so in production.
@oelamri @terminalcloud Thanks Omar! Any features you'd like to see added, especially for the prototyping/dev use case?
@zmh @oelamri @terminalcloud I haven't played around with it enough, but I can tell you what I want to see from my frustrations with Heroku: Make it easy to upgrade downgrade -- better yet, make it automatically elastic with un upper limit. Have more add-on options like multiple CDN's you can choose from, not just one (only viable one on Heroku is Cloudinary). And, most importantly, be ultra reliable; I've had countless times on Heroku where I just couldn't access the db from CLI.
@hunterwalk @homebrew Saw that on twitter. Nice catch here.
Our dev was just talking about moving our environment, so I'll pass this onto him.
@SacBookReviewer @hunterwalk @homebrew Thanks! Happy to help onboard—email us at support@bowery.io and we'll work to make sure everything is set up perfectly :)
@JadoJodo @DigitalOcean Definitely—we'll add support for other providers based on user demand. Is Survey Vitals built on DigitalOcean?
